Going from zero to one is always the hardest.

In the latest feature from STRATA’s Capital Raising Insights for CEOs series, David Lovejoy Founder and CEO at CoachFinder.ai shares how raising capital became more than a pitch. It became a “truth serum” for the business, challenging the product, the strategy and the leader behind it, and ultimately making the company stronger.

Going from zero to one is always the hardest.

In the latest feature from STRATA’s Capital Raising Insights for CEOs series, Eric Vest shares what he learned about building credibility when your operating experience doesn’t automatically translate into investment credibility.

After more than 30 years as an entrepreneur, investor and operator, Eric entered the capital markets with a strong track record behind him. But raising the first $15 million for Y Capital meant having nearly 350 conversations, building relationships, understanding the room and creating the evidence investors could evaluate for themselves.

His experience is a powerful reminder that credibility is contextual. The track record you built may be impressive, but when you enter a new capital room, you still have to prove it in a language that room understands.
